4 5. Indicate to what extent you agree with each of the following statements. Question When I think about my coursework, I am often reminded of relevant life experiences. My understanding about who I am and my role in my community has been influenced by my college experiences. I often see connections between topics I study in my major and courses outside my major. When I experience puzzling life events, I often think back to things I learned in my courses. The courses I have taken in my major have little to do with courses outside my major. I like to draw on ideas from many areas of study to solve complex problems. Sometimes the best way to communicate with others is to talk face to face. When I do a presentation, I sometimes struggle to select the best format for the audience. I feel that exploring new ways to solve a problem often leads to a good solution. When I am faced with a complex issue in my community, I think about the skills and ideas I have learned in college. I find that thinking about future implications of my actions often gets in the way of solving immediate problems. Agree Agree Neutral Disagree Disagree Total Responses

5 I am confident that I can relate important concepts in my major to other fields of study. People who get upset about what other people say to them are just not paying attention. If I could do my college education over again, I would take more interdisciplinary courses. Sometimes I think back to things I have done in the past that I would do very differently now if I had the opportunity. When studying my major, I find myself thinking about how the topic applies to my community. I often find that my experiences in the community help me think about topics in my major. When trying to solve a difficult problem, I find it is best to go with tried and true methods. My field of study has few real-world applications. I enjoy connecting facts and theories from one field of study to another field of study. When faced with a complicated problem, I find it helpful to draw on the knowledge and experiences of others
